Misc+Traditional - Misirlou




From: kharding@lamar.ColoState.EDU (Karol Harding)

version of Misirlou.  I'll still experimenting with it -
version1 is for steel strings, version 2 (untested)is lowered
an octave for nylon strings.  lyrics follow.

I also have the english words if anyone wants (there are no 
foreigh words except a spanish translation)

MISIRLOU

This is a very pretty greek/middle eastern sounding piece which
is really an American piece written in the 1950's for folkdancers.
It accompanies the dance of the same name, usually done in 9/8.

VERSION 2: for nylon strings*
(this one still needs testing; was lowering the melody an octave
because it sounded better on my nylon strings
